Seika • Black Rose • Legendary
Izayuki had been missing for some time. While the white ayakashi was left alone to handle guild affairs, she knew roughly of the guildmaster’s whereabouts. The Bakedanuki had suffered trauma in the House of Lost Souls, and for the safety of herself, her guild, and the entire town of Rose Garden, she had taken a short leave.
Seika, however, was doing her best to handle the constant paperwork, flow of job papers, exams, and the like. Upcoming was none other than that one hunchback who had joined the guild not too long ago. The woman rarely showed her face, but she was soon to prove herself worthy of bearing the Black Rose guildmark. Seika would make sure of that.
Using her neatest handwriting, which was like the most elegant of calligraphy when compared to Izayuki’s chicken-scratch, Seika began to write a letter to one who was quickly approaching the next rank, B. B rank would enable the girl to go on far more difficult jobs, but before the guild sent her out on even more perilous missions, she would be tested, and have to prove her strength.
‘Dear Gremalin Fen,
You have received this letter to commend you on the loyalty and effort you have put into your guild, Black Rose. You have grown in power, and as such, it is time for you to move up within the ranks of the guild. We invite you to the position of B rank mage, but in order to attain such, you must first be tested.
Bamboo Falls is a vastly famous spa and hot springs, a place to relax. However, we have received notice that things are off; people arrive and enjoy their stay, but go missing before they can leave. We want you to investigate this case, and solve the issue.
Funds for the spa will be provided for you. Best of luck,
The Guildmaster’s Proxy,
Seika’
And so the letter would be sent by a messenger to the girl that was visibly hard to miss.

Bamboo Falls is a Japanese-style spa and hot spring resort where many may take a break from the stress of everyday life. The beautiful resort lies within the mountains. There are dangerous ghosts haunting the resort, which take one person every two weeks, whisking them away so that there is no trace of them left behind.
As you investigate you will soon find that the owner themselves is a ghost, and must feed on the souls of others to remain in the physical world. They have friends within the resort disguised as employees, who also pick off wild animals or people within, who answer only to them.
Weak-- 3 Possessed Animals.
These critters deal C rank damage, and take one C rank hit to knock out, two to kill. They move at A rank speeds, so be quick!
Normal-- 2 Possessed People.
This duo is stronger than the average human, and deal B rank damage, and take 2 C rank hits to knock out. If you deal 4 C rank hits, they will die. Do not kill them, or else risk facing legal action. They are slow, luckily, moving at only C rank speeds.
Strong-- 2 Ghosts
Ghosts can fly, use shadow and death magic, and are actually rather pretty looking~ They deal B rank damage, and take 3 B rank hits (6 C rank) to take down. They move at moderate B rank speeds, and must be exterminated.
Boss-- The Owner
The owner is a beautiful young maiden ghost who has remained on the earth to watch over the resort she founded, Bamboo Falls. However, to remain in the world she must absorb human life. She deals B rank damage with either martial arts or death magic, and takes 5 B rank hits (10 C rank) to take down. She moves at A rank speeds.
